The weather forecast was bad but Liz, William, George and I decided to go away in the camper van anyway, but not too far. We packed and left on Saturday morning, driving down the M5 to Bucklegrove Caravan Park in Rodney Stoke . After lunch we walked along Westclose Hill to Westbury-sub-Mendip , then came back, south of the main road. We swam in the pool before tea and got the boys to bed reasonably early.

The rain poured down overnight - very loud in the van, and we had some good thunder and lightning.
